Devices and methods to receive input at a first device and present output in response on a second device different from the first device

Abstract

An apparatus includes a processor and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive user input into the apparatus implicating an output in response, and present the response on a device separate and apart from the apparatus instead of presenting the response on the apparatus.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A device, comprising:
 at least one processor; and 
 storage accessible to the at least one processor and bearing instructions executable by the at least one processor to: 
 receive user input requesting an output; 
 determine a first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically; 
 present the output on the first apparatus; and 
 present a prompt on the device, the prompt requesting user input that indicates at least one other apparatus on which to present the output, the prompt being presented responsive to a determination that the output cannot be presented on the first apparatus. 
 
     
     
       2. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the determining the first apparatus on which to present the output is at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically of a plurality of apparatuses. 
     
     
       3. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to:
 determine the first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus physically as determined based on information indicated in a network map accessible to the device. 
 
     
     
       4. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to:
 determine the first apparatus on which to present the output is at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus physically as determined based on information received from a position sensor on the first apparatus. 
 
     
     
       5. The device of  claim 4 , wherein the information comprises GPS coordinates. 
     
     
       6. The device of  claim 1 , comprising a display accessible to the device, wherein the prompt is presented on the display, and wherein the prompt comprises one or more selectors respectively associated with different apparatuses on which the output is presentable, the one or more selectors each being selectable to provide a command to the device to present the output on the respectively associated apparatus. 
     
     
       7. The device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the prompt indicates that the output cannot be presented on the first apparatus. 
 
     
     
       8. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the output comprises at least one of: audio content, video content. 
     
     
       9. A method, comprising:
 receiving, at a device, user input requesting an output; 
 determining a first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically; and 
 presenting a prompt on a display accessible to the device, the prompt requesting user input that indicates at least one other apparatus on which to present the output, the prompt comprising one or more selectors respectively associated with different apparatuses on which the output is presentable, the one or more selectors each being selectable to provide a command to the device to present the output on the respectively associated apparatus. 
 
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 9 , wherein the determining the first apparatus on which to present the output is at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically of a plurality of apparatuses. 
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 9 , comprising:
 determining the first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus physically as determined based on information indicated in a network map accessible to the device. 
 
     
     
       12. The method of  claim 9 , comprising:
 determining the first apparatus on which to present the output is at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus physically as determined based on information received from a position sensor on the first apparatus. 
 
     
     
       13. A computer readable storage medium (CRSM) that is not a transitory signal, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by at least one processor to:
 receive, at a device, user input requesting an output; 
 determine a first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically; and 
 present a prompt on a display accessible to the at least one processor, the prompt requesting user input that indicates at least one other apparatus on which to present the output, the prompt comprising one or more selectors respectively associated with different apparatuses on which the output is presentable, the one or more selectors each being selectable to provide a command to the device to present the output on the respectively associated apparatus. 
 
     
     
       14. The CRSM of  claim 13 , wherein the determining the first apparatus on which to present the output is at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus to the device physically of a plurality of apparatuses. 
     
     
       15. The CRSM of  claim 13 , wherein
 the prompt indicates that the output cannot be presented on the first apparatus. 
 
     
     
       16. The method of  claim 9 , wherein the prompt indicates that the output cannot be presented on the first apparatus. 
     
     
       17. The method of  claim 9 , wherein the output comprises at least one of: audio content, video content. 
     
     
       18. The CRSM of  claim 13 , wherein the output comprises at least one of: audio content, video content. 
     
     
       19. The CRSM of  claim 13 , wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to:
 determine the first apparatus on which to present the output at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus physically as determined based on information indicated in a network map accessible to the at least one processor. 
 
     
     
       20. The CRSM of  claim 13 , wherein the instructions are executable by the at least one processor to:
 determine the first apparatus on which to present the output is at least in part based on a determination that the first apparatus is a nearest apparatus physically as determined based on information received from a position sensor on the first apparatus.
